CHANGES COMING IN 2016In 2016, WCBCS will be making changes to the degree programs, offering only 1 Associate, 1 Bachelor, and 1 Master degree. (all degrees will continue to remain ministry-based) However, we will maintain all of the specializations currently being offered as degrees. For example, the Bachelor of Ministry degree will have specializations in biblical counseling, church business administration, general ministry, missions, worship arts, and youth ministry. While this represents a significant change in HOW we confer our degrees, it will help us to better align with standards for accreditation as we continue to move forward.

These are the current degree plan offerings from West Coast Bible College & Seminary for 2016. New degree plans will be announced if, and when, the accreditation process is completed in South Africa.
